I only have ONE thing for my list. And it happened on my second trip to Aruba in 2003. I will not name the restaurant for obvious (good) reasons. (I was staying at Divi Aruba Beach and I thought the food was so not to my liking that I ate dinner out at least 4 times).

Emailed resto from home to make a res for my birthday. I arrived on time for res. Pre-ordered souffle for dessert, appies, wine, dinner, more wine.....after dinner plate cleared the maitre d' comes to my table with a cupcake and a candle and everyone sang happy birthday. (Wait the story gets better!!)

Then I had my real dessert. WONDERFUL. I estimate that with a generous tip the meal would be about $120 for ME (1 person - dont do that very often).

I called the waiter over and asked for my check. I waited, and waited and called the maitre d' over to inquire about my check and he said (I'm not kidding): "Madam its been taken care of ".

I have no clue if the resto comped the meal or a generous guest did....but someone did, and that made my day (spent alone) very special).

I am going back to that resto in September. I'm pretty sure I'll have to pay for it this time!!!!
